The Gauselmann Group celebrated the opening of its first casino in Germany on Saturday.

Over 500 people came to witness the event in Leuna-Günthersdorf in Saxony-Anhalt. The Gauselmann Group’s bid to operate casinos in Saxony-Anhalt prevailed against strong competition, winning the licence in 2014 to operate casinos in this German state for the next 15 years.

The casino is situated opposite one of the largest shopping centres in Germany. At the opening, casino director Claudia Bieling said: “I am so pleased to be able to greet so many people to our grand opening so that myself and my team can give them an insight into the gaming diversity we have on offer.”

This venue has over 120 slot machines and live gaming tables (roulette, blackjack and poker).
